NON-REFILLABLE RECEPTACLE FOR FLUIDS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 28, 1909.

Application filed August 10, 1909. Serial No. 512,249.

T all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, J ACOB H. BROWN, a citizen of the United States,residing at 1524 Madison avenue, city of New York, in the county andState of New York, have i11- vented a new and useful Non-RefillableReceptacle for Fluids, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in non refiillable receptacles forfluids and is applicable to the bottling of any fluid of any degree offluidity or density; and the object of the invention is to preclude thepossibility of refilling the receptacle either i in the usual manner offilling ordinary receptacles, or by mechanically holding my valve andfilling after said receptacle is once properly emptied; therebypreventing the re-marketing of any specific bottled product by otherthan the true compounders; in the receptacle by them put on sale. Tothis end I make my receptacle of any appropriate material in twosections ;a reservoir with a valve seat-rest thereto and a neck section;and a clamp for making a unit of the two sections. I use the reservoirsection in the initial filling by usual process; a gravity valvearrangement that permits the discharge of liquid on inversion of thereceptacle; a shield or guard preventing the manipulation of this valveby mechanical means; and a packing ring to insure a liquid-tight jointall as illustrated in the accompanying drawing in which similar lettersrefer to similar parts throughout the several views.

Figure 1 is a vertical section of the receptacle with the female clampsection II removed; Fig. 2, an elevation of the valve C; Fig. 3, abottom view thereof; Fig. 1, an elevation of the valve-seat D Fig. 5, abottom view thereof; Fig. 6, an elevation of the valve-guard E; Fig. 7,a bottom view thereof; Fig. 8 represents a horizontal section on theline w-y with the lower or reservoir section B valve C seat D uard E andpacking ring 11 removed. I use a neck section A with a mouth 22; annularrecesses 1 and 2 formed on the bottom of said neck section, and annularprojections of increasing diameter, 8, 1 and 5 respectively on the outerlower portion thereof, a reservoir section B with an annular projection6 and annular recess 7 formed on the top thereof, and annular decreasingdiameter, 8, 9 and 10 respectively on the outer upper portion thereof.The valve O of suitable material has a hollow cylindrical body 12, withdischarge openings 13, substantially as shown, and a flanged top 14,which has a V annular projection on the under side of the flangethereof.

WVhen the valve C is placed on its seat D the lower end of the valvebody 12, is expanded into the valve weight and stop 16. The valve seat Dconsists of a disk bored at its center for the valve body 12 to passthrough, and has formed on the upper face a V annular recess 17 to meshwith the annular projection 15 of the valve top 1 1. The valve guard Eis cup shaped and of one piece, though I may make it in other convenientform, with discharge openings 18 on top thereof, and an annular flange19, formed around the bottom edge thereof.

In the assembling, the reservoir section B is filled with any liquidwhatsoever; when filled, the valve seat D with the valve C, with weightand stop 16 attached, as previously the annular projection 6; the valveguard E is placed with its flange edge concentric with the outside ofthe valve seat D and directly over it; the washer ring 11 is placed inthe annular recess 7 section A is then placed in position so thatprojection 0 of section B enters its recess 1.

By the use of a special machine designed for the purpose, the male clampG with its flanges 20, and female clamp H with its flanges 21,-1nade ofpewter or of such like compositiondesigned to enshroud the annularprojections 3, at and 5 of section A, and 8, 9 and 10 of section B,substantially as illustrated ;are oined together as shown in Fig. 8.

The projection 6 in section B entering recess 1 of section A togetherwith the washer ring 11,-preferably made of corkresting in recess 2 ofsection A and recess 7 of section B serve to make the joint of the twosections liquid-tight; while by the nature of the clamping of taperingsurfaces, the clamps G and H firmly fix the neck section A onto its seatin the B section, making a unit of the two sections.

' The receptacle may be marketed with the usual cork and seal at themouth 22. In

projections of of suitable material described, is placed on i --S6LllSremoved, the gravity valve G emptying the contents, after the cork anddrops in the direction of the mouth 22 of the receptacle, when saidreceptacle is inverted, allowing the contents an unobstructed flowthrough the hollow cylindrical body 12, thence through the dischargeopenings 13 of the valve C thence around the periphery of the flange ltof the valve C, thence through the discharge openings 18 of the valveguard E thence through the mouth 22'of the neck section A.

With the receptacle standing on its bottom, my gravity valve is in theclosed position shown in Fig. 1, and any liquid poured into the mouth22, cannot enter the reservoir section B nor can any liquid be made toenter the reservoir section B when valve C is forced back into itsclosed position as by an attempt at infusion under pressure with thereceptacle inverted. It is evident that if the valve C could be heldopen, the, reservoir section could be filled; to offset this possibilityI use valve guard E substantially as described to prevent access to thevalve through the only channel available, viz :the mouth 22.

Having thus described my invention I claim as new and Patent:
